Glass photography – HINDis

HINDis-illuminated photos are unique design pieces. Carefully packaged, each one comes with a purpose designed wooden stand.

HINDis-photos lend themselves well to placement experimentation. They are, of course, quite appealing in natural light, and they also fit well on a window sill where daylight shines through the glass. But place a candle behind them in the evening and they take on an other-worldly glow…

HINDis-photos reflect, each in its own singular way, the natural beauty of Iceland, here literally incorporated in glass by a new technique. The film is placed on a glass surface and then inserted for some time into a very hot kiln. The photos are slotted onto stained wooden stands at a certain angle in order to make them more accessible visually. An additional slot for tea lights is also provided.

The quality of the design is apparent by the fact that the photos are water resistant. They need no special care and can be cleaned with common glass cleaning liquids.

One could say that Icelandic nature is one big work of art. Not everyone can capture the grandeur and beauty of it on film, and therefore Hind works only with renowned nature photographers.

HOT STUFF

In mid-August 2014, Iceland’s second highest mountain, Bárðarbunga, awoke from its slumber. A stratovolcano located under Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest ice cap, Bárðarbunga, is part of a vast volcanic system that covers much of the entre of the island. After a few dramatic days of intense seismic activity, an eruption started in the Holuhraun lava field north of Bárðarbunga. At 4 a.m. on August 31st, the magma found its way to the surface. By the time this book was sent to print, the Holuhraun lava eruption had already become one of the largest witnessed in Iceland since the 19th century and showing no sign of abating.

Ragnar Th. Sigurðsson is one of Iceland’s most experienced photographers. He has closely followed these events from both the air and ground from the very beginning.

Breathtaking photographs from the lava eruption in Holuhraun 2014.

Ragnar Th. Sigurðsson brings you closer to these magnificent events in central Iceland, where the forces of nature continue to shape the island.
